Schematic of the Right Joystick Slide Control (1) 12 volt supply (2) Ground (3) Return signalThis diagnostic code is recorded when the ECM reads the voltage of the circuit for the position sensor as being below normal. The signal circuit of the position sensor may be shorted to ground.The possible causes of this diagnostic code are listed:
The signal circuit for the position sensor is shorted to ground.
The sensor has failed.
The ECM has failed. This is unlikely. Note: The following test procedure may create other diagnostic codes. Ignore these created diagnostic codes and clear the diagnostic codes when the original diagnostic code has been corrected.Note: Ensure that the diagnostic code of CID 1658 FMI 04 is active before performing this procedure. System Response:When this diagnostic code occurs, there is no warning on the monitor. The joystick slide control will be inoperative.Test Step 1. CHECK THE SENSOR
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Ensure that the diagnostic code is active.
Observe the status of the diagnostic code. Disconnect the position sensor from the machine harness.Expected Result:The CID 1658 FMI 04 remains active. The FMI has not changed and the CID 1658 FMI 04 is still active.Results:
OK - The diagnostic code remains active. The sensor is correct. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - The diagnostic code is no longer active. The sensor has failed.Repair: Replace the sensor.STOPTest Step 2. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS OF THE POSITION SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND.
Turn the key start switch and the disconnect switch to the OFF position.
Disconnect the machine harness from the position sensor.
Disconnect machine harness connectors from the ECM.
At the machine harness connector for the ECM, measure the resistance from the return signal contact C2-36 (wire E473-GY) of the machine harness to all possible sources of ground. Measure the resistance to all contacts that are used in the C1 and C2 harness connectors.Expected Result:Each resistance measurement should be greater than 5000 ohms.Results:
OK - Each resistance measurement is greater than 5000 ohms. The machine harness is correct. Proceed to Test Step 3.
NOT OK - One or more resistance measurements is not correct. There is a short in the machine harness. The short is between the return signal contact C2-36 (wire E473-GY) and the circuit with the low resistance measurement. Repair the machine harness or replace the machine harness.STOPTest Step 3. CHECK IF THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE REMAINS.
Inspect the contacts of the harness connectors and clean the contacts.
Reconnect all harness connectors.
Turn the disconnect switch and the key start switch to the ON position.
Enter the service mode of the Caterpillar Monitoring System and clear all of the inactive diagnostic codes.
Operate the machine.
Check the status of the CID 1658 FMI 04.Expected Result:The CID 1658 FMI 04 is not active. Results:
YES - The CID 1658 FMI 04 is not active. The diagnostic code does not exist at this time. The initial diagnostic code was probably caused by a poor electrical connection or a short at one of the harness connectors that was disconnected
